More FUD being published about OSX and Mac vulnerabilities... but

"...But although Gartner's Reynolds warns Mac users to take precautions, he's not convinced Symantec's more dire predictions are on the mark. "Symantec's trying to drum up Mac security business," he said.

"Any major security vulnerabilities in Mac OS X are down the road," he said. "The OS is good at keeping out attacks, and Apple has a good patching system. What I would be concerned about is directed attacks or maybe spyware..."
